Comments:

Following a 13 year career as Executive Director for developing not-for profit, CAPTAIN Community Human Services, I became a realtor, and eventually launched my own business, Lady Cher Stitch Studio, llc, engaging youngsters in the sewing arts in my home studio and later inside a JoAnn Fabric and Craft Store in Albany.

March 31, 2010, I sold my business selling Husqvarna Viking and Singer sewing machines along with instructing customers in all areas of sewing and fashion design (draping on a dress form and pattern making) inside JoAnn's. It was a great ride for 3 1/2 years. The JoAnn Store moved my location inside their store to a much smaller area without any adjoining classroom space. Without the sewing classroom, the business lost its appeal for me so I sold and made a little money to launch my next endeavor. After designing historic reproduction patterns as well as others, with my partner, developed and pursued a patent for a "Custom Fitted Single Seam Stretchable Fabric Skirt" which was abandoned when my husband, Jim was scheduled for major back surgery. An accompanying manual, "Design, Fit and Sew at a Stretchy Skirt Social" is in it final draft, which we will be offering copyright free. I have returned to my love of sharing sewing with children and for the Summer of 2022 will be providing FREE summer sewing camps in libraries in both Crown Point, where we spend our summers and Ticonderoga, NY. I eagerly look forward to my next adventure.

Jim and I now spend summers at our cottage on Lake Champlain. Joe Chessman and his wife Brenda, come to the area from Alabama so Jim and Joe can fish (and catch) every day. Summers fly by and Jim counts down the days during winter until he can be at the lake again.

My husband, Jiim Pollock, was born on the same day as Howie. As they lived less than 1/2 a mile away from each other,as kids they always celebrated their birthdays together. I started dating my husband in our freshman year and it wasn't too long before we were double dating with Howie and Barb. Soon Helga and Brian Cranston and Richie and BJ Johnson were added to our dating group.  Why am I writing this instead of Jim.? Perhpas it's too painful for him to lose his "favorite" childhood friend. He still tells the stories of mischief and fun that is synonomous with Howie's name! Here's one of them. The pocketbook game: where a pocketbook was attached to a string and laid along the side of the road. When a car stopped to inspect it, the bag disappeared as did Howie and others holding on to it, laughting in glee! Or I remember Howie playing his guitar to promote Jim in his Studnet Council President election cmpaign? I believe that was a FIRST at THS! the wonderful memories could go on forever (as Jim advised me not to in this commemt). As our hearts are saddend by Howie's passing, I can't imagine Barbara's feelings of loss.  As we remember the laughter and fun he gave us, we love and pray for you Barbara as you begin your journey without him, knowing we shall all met up again!

Beautiful pictures of the "Most in Shape" '62 graduate couple! Handsome grand also! Nice lake setting in your picture Helga. We have already been to the lake overnight. Jim, our son Clayton and his girlfriend caught their limit in huge lake trout (9 in all) which made incredible grilled trout! I don't wear a mask and won't get the shots. I have faith, not fear. Life is good! Happy trails to you....Cher

Jim remembers Maria giving him a hug at the 25th Reunion.  She was lovely then and in high school.  Sorry the years have separated us, but she will be remembered as my tall, beautiful, classy friend.
